Woody Herman's Four Chips

Band, US
Jazz and Pop

American jazz ensemble in 1940. Woody Herman took a quartet from 'The Band That Plays the Blues' (Woody Herman And His Orchestra - Carlson, White, Linehan and Yoder) in order to produce records in studio. This selection were the main musicians of the contemporary big band. The first recording sessions took place in New York, September 9, 1940. The ensemble was reactivated in February 1947, shortly after Herman disbanded the first herd. Those sessions lasted until March 31st, 1947 and were made with a different ensemble but with the same name.
